get yourself a decent metal polish such as belgom alu and some 00 grade fine wire wool, that should do the trick  :happy2:

I have a Milltek and use autosol and just an old rag, do it regularly and it gets all the soot off,
Alos got a set of 3 different strength wire type toothbrushes from Halfrauds for about £3.50 which are quite useful.
